A woman and her daughter were among three persons killed today when a car skidded off the road and ploughed into them in Bihar's Vaishali district, a police officer said.
The fourth woman, who received injuries in the incident, has been admitted in a district hospital, where the doctors stated her condition to be "critical", he said.
"All four of them were working this morning at a maize field in Chakaiya village, when the driver of the car probably lost control on the wheels and ran over them," Surendra Pandey, the officer-in-charge at Tisiauta police station of the district, explained.
A case has been registered in this connection and efforts are on to nab the driver, who fled the scene, leaving his vehicle behind, he added.
